After galvanic treatment, which aftercare instruction is correct?

• A. Avoid face makeup for up to 8-12 hours and drink plenty of water
• B. Apply makeup immediately after treatment
• C. Avoid skincare products
• D. Sun exposure is recommended immediately after

Answer: (A)

After galvanic treatment, the skin is more sensitive and pores can be temporarily open, so protection and gentle care are key. The best aftercare advice is to avoid applying face makeup for about 8–12 hours and to drink plenty of water. Makeup at this stage can clog pores, irritate sensitized skin, and interfere with the natural healing and the treatment’s effects. Drinking water supports hydration and helps the body flush out any released toxins, promoting comfort and recovery.

Applying makeup immediately after would trap debris and irritants on the skin and can worsen redness or breakouts. Skipping skincare entirely isn’t necessary and can leave the skin unprotected and dehydrated. Sun exposure right after treatment isn’t advised because the skin is more vulnerable and prone to sensitivity or damage, so it’s best to avoid sun exposure until the skin has settled.
